MS201 on the horizon...

It will still be lighter than the old 020AV and they were ok.

What about with a 14" bar and one with a 10" bar.

 

There's more to life than worrying about 1lb

 

Try taking a dump in a morning, you can lose a good few pounds.

 

Personally, I reckon if one pound in weight on a saw bothers you, you need to get an office job

 

I want power and speed of cut and if that means an extra two pounds, I can live with that.

 

I doubt it would take months of weight training to handle the extra weight

 

I am with you on this, get to the gym lads, and start curling those 2Lb dumbells with a few front raises now !HOLD! 1234 and relax

Got the opportunity to have a close look at the SkogsElmia exhibition last week. The guys in the stand asked if I was working for the Chinese....

 

Some details thats been improved, you cant get the lids wrong anymore, exhaust is protected and a nice thumbgrip...

well it certainly looks a bit easier to pull through branches when hauling it up. I personally dont see the point in changing or replacing something that already works well. I think stihl may have shot themselves in the foot with this one but that remains to be seen. I will be stocking up on the good old 200 if they are replacing it, to me its the best and in no need of changing.

Not aimed at you at all! Just a general remark on what everyone feels about new stuff...

Still love my old (and not very used) 020, still better punch in that than my new 200....

My last 020 died many years ago and it rocked as well. Maybe this new 201 will be ok who knows. I do know that i wont be looking to husky for a top handled saw cos i never liked them at all. Good ground saws but for climbing they lost me completely after the first terrible effort and i never trusted them again:thumbdown:
